We look very carefully at what international allies are saying about emergency preparedness matters. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero works closely with industry to improve resilience. In response to incidents like the gas outage in South Devon, industry has tried and tested plans to minimise disruption as quickly as possible. The Minister is keen to further increase resilience; he invites Caroline Voaden to write to him with more details.

The Government's Prepare website includes a suggested list of supplies to improve household resilience, including non-perishable food. The Minister is interested in messaging from partners in Europe on this subject and committed to ensuring that the whole of society, especially the most vulnerable, are best prepared for crises.
